A quite complex 5-limit Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 75/64 5/4 45/32 3/2 225/128 2/1, with steps of 75/64 16/15 9/8 16/15 75/64 256/225. All of the notes are otonal to the root one and can be played simultaneously without clashing. This scale can also be viewed as a 5-limit just intonation detemper of the blues scale, with the slightly flat minor third, tritone and seventh blending noticeably better with ordinary major chords than their 12edo counterparts.
